Covering my face with my hands, I groan and force my eyes open as I wake up with a raging hangover.
Everything hurts.
I wait about ten minutes before I make myself get into the shower because I smell like beer and need a fresh start to the day. After I throw on my new red tank top and black track pants, I wander into the kitchen for some water.
“Please tell me you have some painkillers?” I ask Knuckles, who is sitting shirtless in the kitchen, eating . . . ice cream? “Is that your breakfast?”
“Yeah, want some?” he asks, voice thick from sleep. “There’s some Advil in the cupboard on top of the fridge.”
I open the cupboard and grab the bottle, then a bottle of water, and sit down, hating life. “How much did we drink last night?”
He scrapes the bottom of his bowl, spooning the last of the ice cream. “More than I have in a long-ass time.”
“Good morning,” Dad mumbles gruffly as he walks in, glancing around the kitchen. “I need bacon. Should we go and grab something?”
I’m sure I look like a heart-eyed emoji right now. “Can we, please? Because I’m about to die.”
“Dramatic ass,” Knuckles says, rubbing his temple with his thumb. “Why are you always talking about death?”
“Because I feel like death! Maybe my road name can be Reaper. What do you think?”
They both ignore me.
“What time does everyone return?” I ask as I stand. I want to be here when Ace gets home, not out stuffing my face. I consider my words. Actually, stuffing my face is probably on the same level as seeing him.
“This afternoon,” Dad replies, reaching for the Advil I left on the table. “You know what, Erin? You’re a bad influence on your old father.”
I gasp. “I was the young and impressionable one; you both are old. With your centuries of experience, you should know by now when to stop drinking.”
They share a look, then both walk out of the kitchen, leaving me alone.
“Does this mean we aren’t going to get food?” I call out, grinning to myself. I finish my bottle of water and then send Ace a message.
Safe trip home.
I go in search of my father, who drives me to get greasy hangover food. I get something for Knuckles too.
Can’t forget the new bestie.
The rest of the day is spent being lazy. I read a book and lounge in bed, still not feeling 100 percent, but I did this to myself, so I can’t complain.
I hear the rumble of the motorcycles just as I’m on the last chapter of my book, so I run to the front door, watching bike after bike return.
I pick him out of the crowd straightaway. I think I’d know him anywhere, even among motorcycles that can look similar to someone who doesn’t know anything about them. With my eyes on only him, I watch as he turns off the engine, gets off the bike, and removes his helmet. Next off comes his familiar leather jacket, which he holds in his arms, then he looks toward the door to where I’m standing.
